About Laura

Hi there ✨

I am a trustworthy pet sitter ready to purr-fectly pamper, play and cuddle 🐶🐱💗

My journey as a pet sitter isn't just a job; it's a calling born out of my deep love for animals and my unwavering affinity for spending time with them. Dogs, cats, and the serene walks in parks constitute the trifecta of happiness in my life. They have been a constant source of joy, companionship, and solace.

Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to the world of animals. Over the past five years, my passion for pet sitting has led me to care for numerous cats and dogs, from playful dogs to enigmatic cats, and I'm thrilled to say that each experience has been a resounding success. The trust that owners have placed in me to look after their precious four-legged companions is a responsibility I take very seriously. Over time, my experience as a pet sitter has deepened my connection with animals further. I've developed a deep understanding of the individual needs of each animal, whether it's affectionate cuddles for cats or energetic playtime for dogs. Their presence brought an indescribable warmth to my life, teaching me valuable lessons about empathy, patience, and unconditional love.

What motivates me to be a pet sitter is the opportunity to extend this love and care to other people's beloved furry family members. I understand that pets are not just animals; they are cherished members of the family, each with their own unique personalities and needs.

The greatest reward of being a pet sitter is witnessing the trust that pets and their owners place in me. Whether it's providing companionship, ensuring they get their daily exercise during park walks, or simply being there for a comforting snuggle. The bond that forms between me and the pets I care for is truly special.

I believe that pet sitting isn't just about the practical aspects of feeding and walking; it's about creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and happy when their owners are away. It's about being attuned to their needs and quirks, ensuring that they thrive in your care.

Every day as a pet sitter is a new adventure, and I approach it with enthusiasm and dedication. My goal is to make both the pets and their owners feel at ease, knowing that their beloved companions are in capable and compassionate hands. My passion for pet sitting is a commitment to creating a positive and joyful experience for both pets and their human families.

Regarding my home, I live very close to Royal Park, where there are spacious areas designated for off-leash dogs. I absolutely love taking long walks there, and the dogs are always so happy, far away from the city's hustle and bustle. I reside in an apartment with one bedroom and a large balcony where I have some cat trees. My residence also has a fairly large area for playing with pets. I would be delighted to welcome your furry friend into my home; you would just need to provide their essentials (bed, food, leash, etc.). I have experience administering oral medications to small dogs if needed.

Furthermore, I'm a big fan of taking photos, so you can expect to receive more pictures and videos than you might even hope for, if you'd like, of course 😅

Currently, I have a lot of availability and flexibility regarding dates and services. I can make time for long walks (e.g., a half-day) and can accommodate multiple dogs at once, depending on their size. Please feel free to send me a message with the details, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs ☺️

In the end, the joy of the pets I care for, the gratefulness of their owners, and the shared moments of laughter and play in the park are what drive me to be the best pet sitter I can be. It's a calling that fills my heart with happiness, and I can't imagine a more fulfilling way to spend my days. Dogs, cats, and park walks are indeed all I need to be truly happy ✨
